hmmmm. well, I wasn't going to mention these alternative methods owing to their precarious legal nature.

btw, ISp's are starting to take a hard line on things like pirating. I have 1 neighbor who will no longer be able to get internet from any provider here in my neighborhood. Basically, he was caught pirating on both century link and cox. neither will even allow him to purchase service. He even asked me if he could access my WiFi. I had to be blunt and inform him that after the last DMCA notice I got (because of someone using my WiFi) that my internet was closed to anyone outside of my house. Honestly, I just don't want the legal issues as I am not made of money and could not afford a lawyer even if I could get one.

that all being said, sometimes pirating is the only minimal hassle way, but I won't recommend it (the risks are far too high).

From the beginnings of time, there's been a feature called "quality of service" that makes sure some traffic is always more important than other traffics, so this has always been happening, it's really just more if they apply that lack of priority and/or limiting of queue traffic to certain (competing) services, which assuredly they already do now too.

She knows I just pirate everything, and ask if I was warned too - nope.  I don't think I watch tv near as much as she does, but found it funny that legit users are most affected and forced to pay even more in just bandwidth overages.
